Lore Book Revelations

[WyrahFhurrst]

So yes, a "Dark" flavored void is what we see in the World of Darkness - darkness, a twisted melding and remelding of all aether time and again into a singularity, inhabited by undying, twisted beings that are outside the cycle of life and death.

A "Light" flavored void is an absence of any and all aether as well, but there is nothing left in its wake. No aether, no life, no undying beings, nothing.

I sure hope somebody picks up that phone.

Except that it would have its own voidsent. The whole reason the Warriors of Darkness came to our world to cause a rejoining of theirs was that it would leave their people in a state of unlife/undeath. They'd be twisted into light-oriented voidsent.

If Dark Voidsent are attributed to being demons... Would Light Voidsent be angelic?

So Arbert personally executed his fellow WoL in order to for them to travel into the Source world.

Lamimi (Devout of Darkness) has feelings for Arbert what with the whole "she does not allow her lustful thoughts of Arbert's loins cloud her sense of duty" in her bio. Now I can never see her the same way again.

Nice to know more about the WoDs

So Bahamut grew weaker as Voidsent (sent by CoD) possessed bodies and fought him to the point where the crystals that fueled him dwindled. A war of attrition, it seems since Allagan had a near infinite supply of Voidsent and machina

Livia earned a reputation for putting down Dalmascan insurgents when they rebelled

Full names of the Scions: Minfilia Warde (fake name), Y'shtola Rhul, Thancred Waters, Papalymo Totolymo.

So it was Louisoix efforts that allowed some Ala Mhigan refugees into Sharlayan colony and one of them happens to be Yda. After telling Papalymo how she wanted to liberate Ala Mhigo she was then inducted into the Circle of Knowing ... really?

Geez, no wonder he had the serious chip on his shoulder that he did. An unending quest to save the world that seems to just be headed for failure is one thing. Having to personally kill your closest friends as part of the process is just cruel. Poor guy. I'd just figured they'd all committed suicide...

Lamimi (Devout of Darkness) has feelings for Arbert what with the whole "she does not allow her lustful thoughts of Arbert's loins cloud her sense of duty" in her bio. Now I can never see her the same way again.

Seriously? And here I just thought my pairing-obsessed mind was playing tricks on me as it's wont to do during her, what, one line? Well I feel vaguely vindicated.

Dalmascan? I think you mean Ala Mhigan. XD

[Belhi]

Probably actually Dalmascan. There are hints that there are places in Garlean held territory that have the names of places from FF12. That said, its a reference, not the actual same place.

[Griffey]

Dalmascan? I think you mean Ala Mhigan. XD

There is a Dalmasca in FFXIV, hinted at being in Othard. I'm guessing that tidbit is from the lore book.

Very likely they would... but not in the way we think of angels today. They would probably resemble the descriptions of biblical angels, the ones who often declared that we shouldn't fear them. They'd certainly be called "demons" by some, after all, would you be okay with something like this?

Duskwights:

Interesting that Duskwights use Pomanders potent enough to ward off Elementals and that they excel at making it. Not sure what that means or the relationship with the Pomanders found in PotD. Probably one of the many things they kept from the time of Gelmorra

Thanks for sharing this.
I was disappointed we didn't get much in the way of Duskwight lore in game when PotD was released.

I kinda saw that as something more akin to a state of limbo. Its hard to describe but I think the people form the First has their egos eroded, rendered incapable of thought and trapped in a state of non-existance due to the lat of matter to become their bodies as well as a lack of aether to sustain their souls. A sort of anti-life that would be reversed when Minfilia got the First. It was a reverse state of affairs for the physical plain but I don't think it would be the case for the metaphysical plane

On a different note, the Ascians are down 4 memebers, Mitron (killed by Arbert and his band), Lahabrea (Killed by Thordian), Nabriales and Igeyohrm (killed by us). That means a third of them were vanquished already. Seems more likely they are gonna try to play it safe for bit.

Wait, where are these parts? Oh damn I really need that book. Anyone need an english-hungarian translator? I need to purchase some expensive stuff.
